LATE-BREAKING NEWS

• As part of a somewhat expensive Amazon ad campaign, we've dropped the price on The Fugitive Heir to $0.99. If this leads to better follow-on sales of The Fugitive Pair and The Fugitive Snare, we'll leave it at this price. C'mon, buy the complete set!

• All current issues of Stupefying Stories are now available free for Kindle Unlimited subscribers. See the right column for links. For non-US customers, these should automatically redirect to your local manifestation of Amazon. If they don't, let me know.

• Yes, we are in fact reading new submissions. Our revised submission guidelines aren't ready for public consumption yet, so you'll just have to send your story to submissions@rampantloonmedia.com and take your chances. One story at a time, please! No multiple submissions and no simultaneous submissions!

SHOWCASE IS MOVING BACK IN WITH ITS PARENTS!

As you may have guessed from the new banner, we're consolidating the Stupefying Stories blog and SHOWCASE webzine into one new site. In the meantime, before it's gone for good, you really should check out all the great stories on the old SHOWCASE site.

Rampant Loon Press is pleased to announce the release of our first original novel: Scout's Honor: A Planetary Romance, by Henry Vogel.

Currently available for Amazon Kindle (and already a best-seller with twenty reader reviews!) Scout's Honor will be available in the Nook Press and Apple iTunes store shortly, and (now this is the part we're really excited about) in print format on Friday, August 1.

Watch this space for more details. And now, without further ado, the marketing copy...

When Terran Scout David Rice climbs from the wreckage of his starship’s
escape pod, he finds himself transported from the space age to the steam
age in the blink of an eye. Drawn to the sounds of fighting, David
immediately throws himself into a desperate battle against overwhelming
odds to save the life of a beautiful young princess.

Now, marooned without hope of rescue, David is swept into a world of
steam-powered airships, treacherous pirates, brutal savages,
bloodthirsty monsters, royal machinations, and plots within plots, where
matters of strength and honor are most often settled with the clash of
swords. As he struggles to learn the strange ways of this new world and
who he can trust, one thing becomes clear to him: he must put aside his
growing feelings for Her Highness and do everything in his power to
return her to her family, even though this means giving her up to the
prince she’s pledged to marry.

Told in a relentlessly fast-paced and breathless style, SCOUT’S
HONOR is an exciting modern homage to the classic tales of planetary
romance made famous by writers such as Edgar Rice Burroughs and Leigh
Brackett, as well as the cliffhanger-driven energy of the early science
fiction movie serials. If you like your heroes unabashedly heroic, your
heroines feisty and true, and your plots filled with dangers, twists,
turns, and double-crosses upon triple-crosses, you’ll enjoy SCOUT’S
HONOR.
